I won tickets to JFK

Hi Guys,

I have won 2 tickets to JFK with AB (sadly in Economy but hey ho) after completing a post flight survey. Since I have never been on the 330, what seats would be nice to choose for 2 of us?

make sure you check tax implications - Often the full value of the tickets is added as income.

Congrats! Choose the XL Seats AC or HK starting at row 14. Depending on the flight date there should be more of those in rows 15 to 19 (I think).

+1.

I sat in those front exit row seats and once everybody was onboard they were great. Not too much noise from the galley and plenty of legroom.

The only disadvantage is there seemed to be lots of young families around so it was a bit noisy with babies.

Thanks for the advice guys, new to the AB 330 so this will help.

In the US for sure. I think other countries don't have that rule.

In Holland 29% tax on the value of the prize - though typically the provider pays. Not sure about Germany.
